Do you think we can return to proper descriptions of hill gradients, please? Like '1 in 5' and '1 in 7'
I have yet to meet anyone who understands percentages
Hi

Well 50% do understand %'s and 50% don't.

You take your choice.

Me too. My passport is up next year but as soon as they bring the British passport back in again, I'll be renewing to have one.

Quick edit.

I didn't make myself very plain there, even though I probably be having the EU one next year, I'll reapply for the British one when it becomes available.

Bring back fractions! Who wants two point something or other (other numbers are available) when it's a lot easier to give a fraction. 2 1/2 is more meaningful than 2.5

Re: Things we'd like to get back?

Perhaps I should have made myself clear; I can understand percentages generally, I just don't understand how it is applied to slopes or gradients

and how are British scientists going to speak with other scientists?

How are tourists to the UK supposed to understand road gradients?

You won't need bigger fishing fleets because you won't be able to fish inside EU boundaries.

What difference does the colour of a passport matter???

Jeez.

Re-establishment of the fishing industry should happen very quickly once we are out and Britain should establish its fishing grounds again and prevent other powers from fishing them.
We should also restore the education system which has clearly been subverted and ensure it can never again be corrupted.

The Navy should be restored to its former world leading glory but that might require some good accounting to raise the necessary funding.

The EU Water Framework Directive should be rescinded and farmers and land owners alike allowed to properly maintain, dredge and clear rivers as necessary in order to get back to a situation where a little bit of rain no longer flood houses and towns.

That'll do for starters.
I'm with realist on this one I'd add I'd like to see all our ulitities back in British hands I really object to sending money abroad when I pay my water or leccy bills.
